Who else likes The Smiths?

[redqueen]

I do. I remember when I was in high school, it seemed like nobody else did. I only knew a few people who liked them when they were together... I went with one to go see them when they played at a bowling alley around here with a little arena thing attached. That was a great night. She had a Karman Ghia and I thought that was so cool.

15. Listened to Girlfriend earlier...

haven't got to How Soon is Now yet.

And no, I don't remember the virgin bullshit... I do remember the asexual bullshit.

[Capn Sunshine]

18. I think the "asexual" was right after "virgin"

two distinct Morrissey trips, but thematically the same.

[catzies]

8. I ws happy in the haze of a drunken hour

but Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

[redqueen]

10. I'm listening to that now.

:)

12. I haven't listented to them much, but

a friend of mine had a vinyl album of theirs in his collection, and one night we listened to the whole thing while among a very good group of friends and a bunch of good drinks. So, I have a positive mental association with them in my mind.

[Truthiness Inspector]

14. Girlfriend In A Coma

is probably my fave Smiths' song.

[redqueen]

17. I don't know if I can pick a favorite.

The one in the OP is close... as is How Soon is Now... and The Boy with a Thorn in His Side.

[Symarip]

19. I know it's hard to pick

Because all the songs sound the same.

[mcctatas]

20. I do...

I saw them at the University here when I was a Freshman in high school

[redqueen]

21. I saw them as a sophomore at that bowling alley place.

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

22. The people down the street from me? I hate those fuckers.

Always speeding. They suck.

[CBHagman]

24. Here comes my 1980s theme song.

No explanation needed.

[redqueen]

25. :)

I had to listen to that one twice. Cause it's so short.

[harmonicon]

26. who likes the smiths?

Some women, some gay men, and some men pretend to like the smiths to get in the pants of one of the two who actually do like the smiths. If you can't tell, I don't like the smiths (still better than Zeppelin though).

[Phillycat]

27. I'm a huge fan.

The Smiths, The Cure, and U2 were my top 3 bands in high school. Also The Police, REM, and The Cult.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

28. thanks for the link

:thumbsup:

[tigereye]

29. I do and did!

I still get psyched when I hear the opening chords of "What Difference does it make" Damn how could anyone so geeky be so sexy? It's bizarre.

Damn, suddenly I'm back in my mid 20s dancing at the Upstage... sigh.

[Danger Mouse]

30. Love some of their songs.

[ellie]

31. I thought I heard

that they were getting back together for a show? I love Johnny Marr.

[Arugula Latte]

33. He's been playing with Modest Mouse.

What a genius -- the opening riff from "How Soon Is Now" still gives me chills.

[mitchum]

32. I liked interviews with Morrissey,but I didn't care for the Smiths

great band name, though

they also had fantastic cover sleeves

[Arugula Latte]

35. Meeeeee!

"How Soon Is Now?" was my college theme and is still in my my top three favorite songs of all time. I also love "What Difference Does It Make?" and "Stop Me (If You Think You've Heard This One Before)," among others.
